Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well, then, he's practically a Communist. I wonder if birthers went after him too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I made the presentation to the faceless voices and the world didn't end. Yikes.
if the daughter of a couple worth a hundred million dollars doesn't fix it now, she's fucked.
I wonder if the same woman has written a column about the Cruise kid wearing heels.

I'm vaguely related to Nixon through my Quaker ancestors, so maybe I'm related to Obama, too. And would that be cooler than being descended from a pirate? Must ponder.

The names that come with the OS or that the computer repair shop puts on things burn my eyes. I have to rename them. Things like my car that don't actually communicate with other entities (to my knowledge--I never plug into it, so I don't care) don't get named so much.
